Check out the numbers on the back of your prints, or talk to a tech from your photo lab to see how much correction they are having to do to your photos. That'll give you an idea of how useful a calibration device/software would be. I noticed that the lab was having to do a fair amount of correction to my files, so I got a Monaco Optix XR calibration device on the recommendation of www.shootsmarter.com After using it (I calibrate every few weeks) I could see the difference in the monitor with my own eyes, and now the lab barely does any correction if any.
